Well as the person who got the field for the ruckus last year i can fill you in with the specifics.

As other people have said in this thread there are a few places fields go after the championship (CA, MI, etc) last year our field was "rented" by team ford FIRST who also supplies the field for the Sweet Repeat and IRI. After the championship that field is sent to MI, where team ford FIRST covers the cost of shipping and insurance. Then for each event afterwords the event pays for shipping to the event from the last event (the field is used very often) and the equal split of the cost of shipping.

The other options for off season events are get a field directly from FIRST, the costs involved being the shipping, and i believe a 10,000 insurance bond against damage. I would contact FIRST for the exact costs.

And finally NASA has a field that they let people use for off season events. All you have to cover is the cost of gas, tolls, and hotel for mike wade to drive the field from NASA Goddard in Maryland (this is an east coast only option), but i believe that NASA Ames has a similar deal.
